Hey Fediverse! :heart_trans:

I’m Ari, a Linux and cloud enthusiast looking for new opportunities in IT. My background is in system administration, automation, and support—mainly with Linux, Python, OpenStack, Juju, MAAS, Ceph, MySQL, GitLab CI/CD, Docker, and monitoring with Grafana and Prometheus.

Why there is pretty much no real innovation in tech industry?

Beacause there is no real Research & Development being done - tech industry is so much less than Bell Labs and so much more like Microsoft, Google and Apple. Crapload of money doesn't generate innovative breakthroughs if talented people are micromanaged and squeezed into Jira boards and deadlines, also scared to be randomly hit by another "optimization" layoffs :blobcatjustright:

This is why the best the industry has to offer is the new iPhone that doesn't differ from the previous, synthetic parrot that repeats scraps of texts without any sensible context for enormous amount of energy (LLMs), and tech jobs that sucks the soul from enthusiastic geeks to exhaustion and overburn :blobcatheadinitshands:

Read an excellent post by @fabio :blobcatreading:

🤖 AI won't replace you – unless you replace yourself!

Anthropic's CEO warns of 10-20% unemployment for career starters, but here's the twist: AI still needs humans in the loop. Career beginners have a UNIQUE chance to shape AI integration instead of fearing it. Your moment is NOW! 💪

Tech company says: we foster a continuous learning environment with strong collaboration.

Tech company hiring: an individual interview where if you don't know a specific subject, you're eliminated.

Tech company working: we need to collaborate more and learn new technologies.

The piece that doesn't fit the puzzle is precisely the hiring process. It'll be harder to hire, not because of the labor market, but because of an extreme conservative hiring process.

"By the raw numbers, tech hiring appears on a solid upward trajectory. TrueUp.io's job trend tracking shows tech job postings have risen from a 2023 low of 163,000, to approximately 230,000 today; roughly a 41% increase.

The 42% increase in openings is consistent with what we've observed internally in HelloInterview usage metrics and mock interview volume, when we adjust data for candidates with interviews scheduled.

We are still well below the feverish heights of 2020-2022, though. Back then, open roles peaked at close to 500,000. The current recovery, while significant, has only restored us to around 46% of that peak.

Unlike previous tech hiring cycles when a rising tide lifted all boats, today's market is characterized by extreme selectivity. Companies have become far more picky about where they invest headcount, with major differences in opportunity based on specialization, experience level, and the prestige of ex-employers."
